THE STRANGEST BATCH, BPH 26TH BATCH

Often when encountered with something strange,

We measure ourselves in the same ordinary range

But when I asked another ordinary, what commonness we share?

He laughed with the laughter he himself couldn’t bear

Upon asking him again to measure my class’s ‘ordinary’ catch,

He smiled to me and said, “You guys are the most strange batch”.

The most flexible and supportive CR, Suraj manages the class,

While his friend, Ved is the workaholic of all tasks

The player of the year, Rajkumar mostly snaps for Facebook,

While Bishwo is always kidding around with the most funny jokes

Aman is the break-dancer of the whole group,

But never knew that Rohit could also do the robotics move

No one is as crazy for Deepika Padukone as our favorite Sudip,

And no one has ever utilized every single moment as our laborious Dip

Prakash Dai is like series of smart thunderstorms,

Rarely seen around the class but when comes, switches all the situations

Gauri Dai is always calm and a very good seeder,

While Mohan Dai is our very own typical true leader

Seldom have I heard our thoughtful Meghraj Dai talking,

But don’t know why does Chandeswor Dai look always so happy and smiling?

Laxmi is reserved and always so quiet,

But Pramila seems to be always studying the whole night

Mukesh Dai so much resembles like a hardworking professor type,

While studious Rocky always has a lot to describe

Ramsagar is very dedicated but always so shy,

All in over, Yograj is a very pleasant guy

Our very dear zero-sized Purna is such a wonderful company,

And Rabindra is humorous, sometimes serious, never the same monotony,

But didn’t know that the girl who looked so calm, Shijan was equally that funny.

Our literary Amit is our class’ only ‘Kabiraj’ and ‘Cricketer’ combo,

And everyone wants to ask our bookish Sanjay, “Ae Mula! Kitna Padhtey ho?”

Our talented Rajendra is always so diplomatic in his entire walk,

But don’t know why our cool Sharmila is centre to everyone’s talk?

Tall Prakash can kill you with his superb volleyball shots,

While jolly Mithun can heal that pain with his hard to understand words

Our gafadi Aayush has always been everyone’s good friend,

But lovely and care-free to look Aanchal was actually studious at the end

Light blue-eyed Tara always revolves around football and his biostatistics tasks,

While the very difficult-to-locate Nabin Dai is the only tourist-cum-student of the class

Arun Dai can be both thoughtful and comic at the same time,

While our easily tempered Sujan is now back to cordial, joyous and fine

No one dares to challenge our stunning Bidusha in any disputes and bets,

But how could our sweet Suyasha remember all those birthdays and anniversary dates?

Our Naresh is always so helpful to all his friends,

But Manoj confuses us with his serious yet funny trends

Our all-rounder Shristi is always found trying around for all types of attempts,

And to our so-called innocent Shraddha, "Stop troubling us with your complex poems!"

Very distinct and different from each other in every form,

There is still a strong bond that we cannot detach

Though one day shall bid a heavy-heart farewell to IOM,

But we shall always remain “The most strange batch”.
